What is MyDepressionTeam?

MyDepressionTeam is a free social network that makes it easy for you to:

get the emotional support you need from others like you, and

gain practical advice and insights on managing treatment or therapies for depression

When you or a loved one are first diagnosed, it's not uncommon to feel alone and uncertain of where to
find the best information and people that can help you now. We believe in making it easy to
find the best people around you to help you get the answers you need, and to find support from
people who can truly relate. The main currency on our site is trust – the more you share in
posts and your stories, the more questions you ask and answer, the more your support will
be valued by other members.

MyDepressionTeam is the only social network where you can truly connect, make real friendships,
and share daily ups and downs in a judgment-free place.

Below are the most popular areas of the site:

Activity page is where everyone posts updates – including
images, stories, thoughts and anecdotes. It's where daily triumphs and trials are shared and supported.

Find People Like You based on location, your diagnosis, and age. You can
browse everyone's story and updates, which helps provide insight as you share with others.

Q & A section enables you to search previously asked questions and
answers, and gives you the ability to ask your own question that will be answered by
others on MyDepressionTeam.

Find Providers best suited to meet your needs based on
keyword and zip/postal code or city, and you can see which ones other members have recommended.

The spirit of the site is to foster a welcoming community with open arms. Maintaining an atmosphere
free of judgment and drama is very important to us to make sure every member can share their
experiences, thoughts and feelings as openly as they wish. All of our members share compassion and
deep empathy for each other's journey. When signing up, many people feel shy at first, but quickly
discover new friends and people who truly understand what you're going through. Once you begin
interacting on the site by posting updates, or sharing your story, even answering other's questions,
you’ll quickly feel embraced and accepted by the team of individuals already on the site, who are,
by all measures, strangers, yet feel closer than well-intentioned friends and family.

Who are we? Who sees your information?

We are an independent, venture-capital backed startup (called MyHealthTeams) based in
San Francisco, working hard on a mission we love. All of the features on the site are
designed with one goal in mind; to connect you with others who have been in your shoes.
Today with millions of members, millions of conversations, and a presence in
eight countries, MyHealthTeams has become the fastest growing and most engaging set of social networks
for web and mobile apps in healthcare.

MyDepressionTeam should not only provide you emotional support through the social
network, but also be a resource for practical tips, personal experiences, and even referrals
to other great doctors from the community. Information shared on the site can be seen by
everyone who signs up for an account, but that is it. You can share as much or as little as you like.

On occasion, we will partner with a pharmaceutical company or university if we believe it
will benefit our members. We do not allow them on the site, and any information that we share
with them is completely anonymized. Please know that anytime we do a partnership or
research - we will always let you know and we will be completely transparent about it. We will
always respect and protect your privacy. Most important, we will continue to look for ways to
empower people on MyDepressionTeam and on the other social networks we've launched. You can check
out a complete listing of all our sites on www.MyHealthTeams.com.

If you ever have any concerns or questions, we can always be reached at support@mydepressionteam.com.
